Luke Lawson is committed to one thing—saving his boarding school before a cash crisis sinks it. He’ll do anything to keep it afloat while vulnerable children rely on him, even if that means accepting help from the man who let him down at uni. Nathan’s offer to teach for free could be a blessing as long as Luke can guard his soft heart. That’s tough when they’ll need to share living quarters and have a history of hook-ups. But Luke knows being compatible in bed isn’t enough to build trust. It can’t be when Nathan has always left him before morning. This time around, it feels different. Nathan's work overseas has changed him, touched him, opened a locked chamber in his heart that Luke is beginning to think must have been bruised in the past too. As pressure mounts to keep the school open, can Luke trust that Nathan’s committed this time—not only to the school but to a shared future with him long term? ♥ Featuring a second chance at first love in close proximity, Luke is the third standalone novel in the Learning to Love series. Set in England's glorious county of Cornwall, each book has a fulfilling happily ever after. ♥ CW: Non-explicit mention of past abusive relationships and anxiety.
